Special Issue on the Material Image. Affordances as a New Approach to Visual Culture Studies. Art Style | Art & Culture International Magazine Editor-in-Chief and Creative Director: Christiane Wagner Co-Editor for this Special Issue: Elisabeth Günther Senior Editor: Martina Sauer For more information about the board, please click on Editorial Team and Art Style Magazine's Scientific Committee Art Style | Art & Culture International Magazine is an open access, biannual, and peer-reviewed online magazine that aims to bundle cultural diversity. All values of cultures are shown in their varieties of art. Beyond the importance of the medium, form, and context in which art takes its characteristics, we also consider the significance of socio-cultural, historical, and market influence. Thus, there are different forms of visual expression and perception through the media and environment. The images relate to the cultural changes and their time-space significance—the spirit of the time. Hence, it is not only about the image itself and its description but rather its effects on culture, in which reciprocity is involved. For example, a variety of visual narratives—like movies, TV shows, videos, performances, media, digital arts, visual technologies and video game as part of the video's story, communications design, and also, drawing, painting, photography, dance, theater, literature, sculpture, architecture and design—are discussed in their visual significance as well as in synchronization with music in daily interactions. Moreover, this magazine handles images and sounds concerning the meaning in culture due to the influence of ideologies, trends, or functions for informational purposes as forms of communication beyond the significance of art and its issues related to the socio-cultural and political context. However, the significance of art and all kinds of aesthetic experiences represent a transformation for our nature as human beings. In general, questions concerning the meaning of art are frequently linked to ...

This edited volume conceives of International Relations (IR) not as a unilateral project, but more as an intellectual platform. Its contributors explore Islamic contributions to this field, addressing the theories and practices of the Islamic civilization and of Muslim societies with regards to international affairs and to the discipline of IR.

We estimate three international price elasticities using exporters data: the elasticity of firm exports to export price, tariff and real exchange rate shocks. In standard trade and international macroeconomics models these three elasticities should be equal. We find that this is far from being the case. We use French firm level electricity costs to instrument for export prices and provide a first estimate of the elasticity of firm-level exports to export prices. The elasticity of exports is highest, around 5, for export prices followed by tariffs, around 2, and is lowest for the real exchange rate, around 0.6. The large discrepancy between these elasticities makes us conclude that the international elasticity puzzle is actually worse than previously thought. Moreover, we show that because exporters absorb part of tariffs and exchange rate movements, estimates of export elasticities that do not take into account export prices are biased.

Introduction: Pediatricians of the World (PDM) is a french medical association with pediatric specificity. His goal is to work with health professionals of the child and his mother. The main objective of this work is to transcribe the history of PDM. The secondary objective is to open the discussion on humanitarian ethics. Material and Methods: This work was conducted from the PDM archives, supplemented by interviews with members of the association and participation at PDM programs. The part on ethics and humanitarianism starts with an interview with Professor Mattei, has been enriched by meetings within PDM and a bibliographic work. Results: The association was founded in 1995 in AFPA by liberal pediatricians under the name of AFPA-humanitarian and became PDM in 2003. Its action began in Moldova, before developing in Sri Lanka, Nepal, Cambodia, Morocco, Democratic Republic of Congo and France. The programs are based on short relay missions. Ethical deliberation is a collegial questioning, aiming to find the least bad solution possible to a specific problem. It seems legitimate to develop it in humanitarian, recalling that the beneficiaries must be at the center of decisions concerning themselves. Conclusion: PDM has shown that short missions could be the source of long-term projects. His history and experience led him to the creation of an ethics committee in 2018. ; Introduction : Pédiatres du monde (PDM) est une association française médicale à spécificité pédiatrique. Son objectif est de collaborer avec des professionnels de la santé de l'enfant et de sa mère. L'objectif principal de ce travail est de retranscrire l'histoire de PDM. L'objectif secondaire est d'ouvrir la discussion sur l'éthique en humanitaire. Matériel et méthode : Ce travail a été mené à partir des archives de PDM, complété par des entretiens avec les membres de l'association et par la participation aux programmes de PDM. La partie sur l'éthique et l'humanitaire a pour point de départ un entretien avec le Professeur Mattei, a été enrichie par les rencontres au sein de PDM et un travail bibliographique. Résultats : L'association a été fondée en 1995 au sein de l'AFPA par des pédiatres libéraux sous le nom d'AFPA-humanitaire et est devenue PDM en 2003. Son action a débuté en Moldavie, avant se développer au Sri Lanka, au Népal, au Cambodge, au Maroc, en République Démocratique du Congo et en France. Les programmes sont basés sur des missions relais courtes. La délibération éthique est un questionnement collégial, ayant pour objectif de trouver la solution la moins mauvaise possible à une problématique ponctuelle. Il semble légitime de la développer en humanitaire, rappelant que le bénéficiaire doit être au centre des décisions le concernant. Conclusion : PDM a su montrer que des missions courtes pouvaient être à l'origine de projets pérennes. Son histoire et son expérience l'ont mené vers la création d'un comité d'éthique en 2018.

East Asian governments have long recognized that national security must incorporate a reduction of their vulnerability to the disruption of essential imports. The rapid economic growth of China and India has intensified competition for increasingly scarce resources, elevating resource security once again to the top of the international agenda. Issues that were previously regarded as 'technical' have been 'securitized' as state elites perceived possible conflicts over availability and pricing of natural resources as threats to national security.International institutions have the potential to contribute to the defusing of tensions over the supply of commodities by providing, through various means, assurances regarding the behaviour of partners. Only the global institutions concerned with commodities trade, the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the World Trade Organization (WTO), have legally binding arrangements and the authority to impose sanctions on states that fail to comply with their obligations. But both have weaknesses: the IEA's membership is limited; the WTO's rules relating to raw materials trade are far from comprehensive. Most of the regional institutions in this field seldom go beyond information exchange or the setting of aspirational targets. At the bilateral level, government attempts to enhance resource security through minerals chapters in preferential trade agreements have had little success. Bilateral investment treaties are the only instances of cooperation at the sub-global level that incorporate legally-binding provisions.The cooperation on resources issues in which countries have engaged has reflected the core characteristics of Asia-Pacific bilateral and regional intergovernmental institutions. The shallowness of cooperation reflects perceptions on the part of state elites that their interests in the resources sector are best served by national rather than collective action and that current cooperative arrangements fail to provide sufficient incentives to prevent states from succumbing to opportunistic behaviour in the event of a short-term clash of interests. The potential gains to be made from a cooperative approach to resource security remain largely unrealized.
